Welcome incoming Theatre students! We have compiled a number of resources which you may find helpful as you navigate the process of visiting, auditioning, and settling in to your new home at Loyola. Feel free to browse the items below.

Theatre Convocation

Don't miss Theatre Convocation to kick off the Fall semester. Meet the member of the theatre faculty, staff, other students and get important news for the upcoming semester. Email dfpaproduction@luc.edu for convocation details.

ADMISSIONS

The Theatre Major and Minor is open to all Loyola students. An audition is not required to declare the Theatre Major or Theatre Minor.

Theatre Scholarship

The Loyola Theatre Program offers incoming students the opportunity to audition for its competitive scholarship. Theatre Scholarship Auditions typically take place in early February.  For more information about Scholarship Auditions, click here.

STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES

New Student Showcase

Every September, Freshman & New Transfer Students get to showcase their talents for the Loyola Theatre Community, with the help of a faculty coach. Complete the interest form to participate in this year's showcase.

Fall 2020 Auditions

Incoming students are invited to audition for productions in the Newhart Family Theatre and Second Stage Projects led by students. Typically auditions take place at the top of the Fall semester. For a full listing and details about upcoming auditions for Fall 2020, visit our Auditions page.

Auditions for actors, singers and dancers are held periodically throughout the year. Functioning much like the class-specific Sakai spaces, the THTR PROGRAM Sakai is the best place to find any announcements or information regarding upcoming opportunities.
